Red Rock Serentiy

Nature has to be one of the most unique & beautiful creations in the Universe. This is a shot of Red Rock canyon during a snow storm. The serenity is surreal within. One of those feelings where you can actually hear & listen to yourself think.

Red Rock Canyon is one of those magical creations of mother nature. The energy is relaxing & offers a great escape from the busy 24hr activities of the Las Vegas atmosphere. Red Rock has a ton of trails for hiking & bike riding. I personally enjoy the peacefulness & the photography experience of capturing this great landscape during my existence in this lifetime.

Here is some more Geology info about Red Rock..

The Red Rock Area has a complex geological history, which over millions of years, helped to create the dramatic landscape that characterizes the region.

This is a low angle shot i captured while over at Red Rock Canyon. This shot turned out interesting because of the grass in the foreground of the image. Again, the clouds were so thick & fluffy that they were one of my main reasons for shooting over there.
